Death by Adaptation Podcast - Episode 18: The Disaster Artist
Welcome to Death By Adaptation, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, we discuss the non-fiction book The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell, and the 2017 James Franco adaptation. We talk about the legacy of the "trashterpiece" The Room, the mystery that is Tommy Wiseau, and how reading about the making of a bad movie can be inspiring.
